Is this usually a machine fault or a usage issue?
More often a usage issue (overloading, detergent amount) than a mechanical fault — worth trying the DIY checks first before assuming something's broken.
How much detergent should I actually use?
Follow the manufacturer's recommended amount on the detergent packaging based on load size and water hardness — using more doesn't clean better and often causes residue.
Could water temperature be the issue?
Yes, if your machine has a heating function that's failed, cold-only washing struggles with oily or heavily soiled items — see our heating element guide.
When should I call a technician for this?
If you've adjusted load size and detergent amount and clothes still come out dirty consistently, it's worth having the dispenser and heating function checked.
